2 flimsies are done

I was lucky enough to go on a 4 day retreat with 32 ladies...
I worked on these 2 row SALs.....
I have changed the sizes of the quilts to suit me sending them off to our own AUSSIE HEROES who are currently on deployment......
They are only to measure 42" x 72".   So I didn't add the borders even though I love the Americana one the best. Maybe next quilt I can make it fit....
I changed the Americana to an Australiana quilt. The Spring quilt is similar.....
Anyway here they are now waiting to be quilted..

Thanks Deana for the patterns...

I actually got them done in time..

I finally had some time to do some sewing for me. All day. It was so good.
I am doing my quilt a little bit skinner than the pattern so there will be some differences when it is finished... Oh we are so close....

Blue mountains for my AUSTRALIANA quilt

Spring SAL.    With our parrots...

More blocks completed

Sue made the schoolhouse.

Pat's Spring.

Deb's spring and Americana are complete for November.

LIBERTY STAR & UMBRELLA's are done

I'm on top of my sewing now. I feel good that I have finished my rows for the 2 SAL's.

Here are my umbrellas all complete. Make sure you read all the directions first... It took a while to sort out... But they are done.... I also used Ric Rac for the handles.

Now for the Liberty Stars...

I added fun male pictures for the centres. It just adds a little bit more of interest...

Oh boy. What a day!!!!

I know it is a day late but I did get there.

I managed to come home a day early from a business/holiday week away.

So what's a girl to do. SEW SEW SEW.

I did the rest of my Freedom Street.

Here is my row for October.

Now, I have laid out all my blocks in the Americana AUSTRALIANA quilt.

I know I have some more piecing to do when I get to the end. I will make them fit my measurements somehow.

Here is my Spring Garden rows all together

Oh looking at the time for your part of the world I think it is still October JUST.......

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 

I have done some....

Well there have been some great blocks and rows done so far this month. Good on everyone that is participating.

I love the inspiration and reminder to get mine done too.

I have had a busy month. Been sick, grandsons birthday ( of course I made a quilt ), other sewing, holidays and catching up with my rows.....

As I keep saying, I am altering my row width to suit the Aussie Hero quilts I make which are only 42" wide.... So some adjustments are needed.

Here is my churn dash and watering cans..

I love the red flowers and am happy with this row. It went together well.....

Then I started on my Freedom Street.

My Chapel is done.

 I do hope to get the school house and cemetery made. I think they will make it up enough to fit my width... Not sure if I can squeeze it in though...

Spring Fence Block 1 - Paula Louceiro

I loved to make this block.

 So much fun. 

Now I have to make some embelishments. 

See you next month.

Deb's picket fence

BETSY SUE & PICKET FENCE is DONE

I have worked very hard today cutting and piecing.. I still need to do all the hand stitching but that will happen later..

I made only 2 Betsy Sues with the Australian flag. I still need to add a frame around the flag. I only did 2 because my quilt isn't going to be as wide. I will do all the calculations and add in places if I need to. I kept with the red, white and blue. Still sticking with a similar theme to you all.

Next up was the picket fence. Wow it is a big fence. I thought I had enough of one fabric but didn't. Then I added a lighter fabric to finish off. That hasn't really worked too well. It blends too much with the fence. I will need to do a but of outline stitching to help it stand out. I have added some climbing roses which I will raw edge appliqué. I've even added a bird house.  It is cute...

I then went back to last months Spring SAL and joined up the houses. I used the left over picket fences to join them and added some trees, a dog and then the lines for the quilts.. Hand stitching needs to be done but at least the row is now together...

Until next month.
Thanks Deana. Hope you life at the moment is travelling ok....

Doric Cat has got her Sue's done except for the bonnets.

Lorri completed a block in both quilts this month.

This is my compilation of row 2.  So far.  I haven't decided how long my rows will be.
SBS enjoying her peaceful garden with sunflowers (or pinwheels,  however you want to imagine them).

I fixed up my house & figured out what I did wrong.  A learning experience.

Pam's Sunbonnet Sue Block

At least I got one block done before the deadline!  I am anxious to get the whole row done.

 I like the flowers and butterflies!

End of Summer Sue...

Here's Sunbonnet Sue in her flowery dress and bright scallop-brim hat, made by Nancy. Sue is a sharp dresser from all the blocks I've seen so far!
